Discover Elfstedenstad IJlst and its surroundings
IJlst (or Drylts in Frisian) is not only one of the famous 11 cities, but also a 'wood city'. For many years, tree trunks were processed here by the legendary wood trading companies Oppedijk and S.O. de Vries. The iconic wood sawmill known as the Rat is a lasting reminder of those days. IJlst is also known for its characteristic 'overtuinen' waterside gardens, where the Overtuinen fair is organised each year: a fair featuring historic décor along the canal. IJlst is the third Elfstedenstad to be visited during the Elfstedentocht and the tour takes you straight through the small town over the Geeuw. Below we would like to tell you about the best addresses for your visit to IJlst. Would you like to discover IJlst?

OUROND
pas nei it griene börd
wêrt ik in geef gedicht op lês
wyt ik, hiest tot för kört
förbij in trepke en it gers
genôch foar jong en âld
om förtst it wytst wer furt te ranen
wurdt alles minder kâld
dan hast dy dêrby del te jaan
t is goed, dit gasterlân
san dichter hoecht nit op te jutten
aanst lis ik bij it strân
k he lauwer toch gin kâlde futten
